Unique Bridesmaid Gifts

LesCam

Anyone out there have any unique Bridesmaid gift ideas? I'm already planning on getting their jewelry, but I wanted to get something else too. My budget would be about $30-$50 per person, so either one large gift or several small gifts.

My problem is that a few of my BM's are super girly and a few wouldn't be caught dead in pink and frills so very tomboy. I am looking for something that would be appealing to any kind of girl.

Any ideas?!?!?!?

They all don't need to get the same thing. Get them each something they'd enjoy.

Brooke, so true. I always wonder why people ask this question. I'm surprised that SO many people who presumably shop for friends and family all. the. time. become incapable of doing so just because it's a wedding.

Where did this idea come from that BM gifts have to match and/or be totally generic "girl" gifts?!

A great place to find fun unique gift itmes is etsy .com its a site where crafters get together and sell their handmade products. Hope this helps, its where i'm getting my bridesmaid gifts from.

I am in the same boat; completely!!  My problem is that 2 of my maids are my fiance's sisters.  We get along great but really want to get them something that they will really LOVE!!  It's tough, I know....  Good Luck!

If you want to get them all the same gift, why not go with a day spa gift card? Girly or not, I don't know anyone who wouldn't appreciate a massage.

Other "general" gift ideas with personal twists:

Pick a home party company and host a party. (Sensual Inspirations/ Pampered Chef/ Scentsy/Cookie Lee/etc.) This is a great way to find out what each of them would like and then purchase it. Plus you usually get free stuff for hosting a party.

Customized Wine or Margarita Glasses.

Have caricatures done of each of them.

"Award" each of them with special gift cards and special certificates. You could even host a special ceremony. Examples: "Starbucks presents the Studdy Buddy Award to my college roommate Christina." or "For the funniest girl I know, Laughing Comedy Club presents the Wedding Party Clown Award."

Hope this helps!
